UFO Report Hotline

Calls regarding RECENT sightings are welcomed by the National UFO Reporting
Center Hotline at (206) 722-3000.
The hotline is staffed 24 hours a day, however reports are best submitted
between 8:00 a.m. and midnight (Pacific time). Sightings more than approximately
one week old should be submitted via our On-Line
Report Form or via US mail to the following address:

National
UFO Reporting Center
P. O. Box 700
Davenport, WA 99122

The Center’s hotline is generally reserved for incoming UFO reports. However,
brief queries may be submitted over the hotline number, and a member of
our staff may be able to answer your question. Information requests may
also be mailed to the address above, or sent via email to director@ufocenter.com
.

Past sighting reports are most useful if they include an exact date, time,
and location of the sighting. Other valuable information include a description
of the object(s) seen, what they were witnessed to do, how many of them
were observed, what shape and color they were, how long they were observed,
and any other facts the witness(es) believe were significant. The number
of observers and a brief, one-sentence long description of their backgrounds
are useful as well.

A photograph or video of the object is the most useful form of evidence
in any sighting. Absent a photograph, an illustration of the object observed,
even a simple outline drawing of its shape is very helpful. Also, a photocopy
of an official map, indicating where the observers were located and what
direction(s) they were looking is extremely helpful, and will permit a
calculation of latitude and longitude.

hotline can be. The blue bars indicate the distribution of the time
